VMFA TALKING POINTS MYTH DEBUNKED...MYTH #3!

Two years after the Va Flaggers began their campaign to RETURN the
flags and RESTORE the honor to the Confederate Memorial Chapel ,
officials at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) are STILL offering
the same talking points that they released then, all of which have been
completely debunked and refuted. As we have in several meetings with
Museum officials, we offer the facts here, for your information...

TALKING POINT MYTH #3:

VMFA: “confederate flags are displayed within the Chapel where their
historical significance is interpreted by the Lee-Jackson Camp No. 1,
Sons of Confederate Veterans.”

Va Flaggers: This is obviously a
case of “selective” historical significance/accuracy, fabricated to
justify the discriminatory act of removing the Confederate Battle Flags.
How can you POSSIBLY have “historical significance” inside and
“historical accuracy” outside if you claim that 74 years of a
Confederate flag on the grounds and on the Confederate War Memorial
DIDN’T happen, but green tin roofs, handicapped ramps, and manicured
round brick flowerbeds DID?!?!

The photograph above clearly
show that the flag pole on which the Confederate soldiers are hoisting
the Confederate Battle Flag is the same pole that, until recently, sat
on the Benedictine High School property. If the VMFA is truly
interested in preserving historical accuracy, then the flag pole that
was originally located on the grounds, and flew the Confederate Battle
Flag daily, should be restored to its historically correct location on
the grounds of Confederate Memorial Park.

VIRGINIA FLAGGERS
CALL TO ACTION: Grab your rain gear and join the VA Flaggers TOMORROW
afternoon, November 26th, 3:00 p.m. - Dusk, as we forward the colors and
protest the removal of Confederate Battle Flags from the portico of the
Confederate Memorial Chapel.

WHO ARE THE VA FLAGGERS?

We are citizens of the Commonwealth who stand AGAINST those who would desecrate our Confederate Monuments and memorials, and FOR our Confederate Veterans.

The Virginia Flaggers were organized on September 5, 2011. What began with just a few dedicated Southerners, has now grown to include hundreds of people, from all over the country, who have joined us in defending the honor of the Confederate Veteran, protesting Heritage violations, and forwarding the colors in Richmond, and Virginia… and beyond!

When needed, flaggers stand with our flags against those in opposition in a peaceful, yet forceful manner, to educate and inform the general public, and in open and visible protest against those who have attacked us, our flags, our ancestors, or our Heritage.

Flaggers speak for those who have no voice. We relay a message of Honor, Dignity, Respect, and Heritage to those who never knew, or to those who have forgotten, and to attempt to reach those who refuse to hear.

Our weapon is the Confederate Battle Flag. Our enemies are those who worship ignorance, historical revisionism and Political Correctness.

We take pride in taking a stand for the Cause. For this Cause, we call others to flock to the banner of our ancestors, take up their flags, and join us in battle, for OUR TIME IS NOW.

The Va Flaggers reject any person or group whose actions tarnish or bring dishonor upon the Confederate soldier or his reason for fighting, including those groups and persons using our cherished flag as a symbol for their own dishonorable purposes.
